Understanding Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy can be a complex and overwhelming process, but it can also provide a fresh start for individuals struggling with overwhelming debt. At Sapinski Law Office, S.C., we specialize in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases, and we are committed to helping our clients understand their options and make informed decisions about their financial future.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy, also known as "liquidation bankruptcy," allows individuals to discharge certain types of unsecured debt, such as credit card debt and medical bills, in exchange for giving up non-exempt property to be sold to pay creditors. On the other hand, Chapter 13 bankruptcy, also known as "reorganization bankruptcy," allows individuals to create a repayment plan to pay off all or part of their debts over a period of three to five years.

Our experienced bankruptcy attorneys will guide you through the process, explain the differences between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, and help you determine which option is best for your unique financial situation.

Commonly Asked Questions

What are the benefits of filing for bankruptcy in Milwaukee?

Filing for bankruptcy in Milwaukee can offer several benefits, including the discharge of certain unsecured debts, such as credit card debt and medical bills, providing relief from overwhelming financial burdens. It can also halt foreclosure proceedings, prevent repossession of property, and stop wage garnishments and harassing calls from creditors. By consulting with a knowledgeable bankruptcy attorney, individuals can explore their options and find a tailored solution to regain financial stability.

Can I keep my property if I file for bankruptcy in Wisconsin?

In Wisconsin, whether you can keep your property when filing for bankruptcy depends on the type of bankruptcy you file and the exemptions you are eligible for. Chapter 7 bankruptcy may require you to liquidate non-exempt assets, but many types of property can be protected under state exemptions. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to keep your property while you make payments under a court-approved plan. An attorney can help you understand which assets are exempt and how to protect your property during the bankruptcy process.
